Abstract

Determinations of uranium, thorium and potassium contents in five samples from three plutonic bodies (Río Grande, Río Verde and Jamiltepec) of the Río Verde batholith, Oaxaca continental margin, southern Mexico, are reported. These measurements have been obtained by two different methods, using: (1) passive gamma-ray spectroscopy with a Ge (Li) detector, and (2) Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS)… in order to continue, download the full paper in PDF
